Sunday all-night vigil. Prayerful preparation for the Gospel reading. The meaning and structure of the All-Night Vigil
On the eve of great holidays and Sundays it is served all-night vigil, or, as it is also called, all-night vigil. The church day begins in the evening, and this service is directly related to the event being celebrated.
The All-Night Vigil is an ancient service; it was performed back in the first centuries of Christianity. The Lord Jesus Christ himself often prayed at night, and the apostles and the first Christians gathered for night prayer. Previously, all-night vigils were very long and, starting in the evening, continued throughout the night.
The All-Night Vigil begins with Great Vespers
In parish churches, Vespers usually begins at seventeen or eighteen o'clock. The prayers and chants of Vespers relate to the Old Testament, they prepare us for matins, which is mainly remembered New Testament events. The Old Testament is a prototype, a forerunner of the New. Old Testament people lived by faith - waiting for the Coming Messiah.
The beginning of Vespers brings our mind to the creation of the world. The priests cense the altar. It signifies the Divine grace of the Holy Spirit, which hovered during the creation of the world over the earth that had not yet been built (see: Gen. 1, 2).
Then the deacon calls the worshipers to stand before the start of the service with an exclamation "Rise up!" and asks for the priest’s blessing to begin the service. The priest, standing before the throne in the altar, utters the exclamation: “Glory to the Holy One, Consubstantial, Life-Giving and Indivisible Trinity, always, now and ever and unto ages of ages”. The choir sings: "Amen."
While singing in chorus Psalm 103, which describes the majestic picture of God’s creation of the world, the clergy censer the entire temple and those praying. The sacrifice signifies the grace of God, which our ancestors Adam and Eve had before the Fall, enjoying bliss and communion with God in paradise. After the creation of people, the doors of heaven were open to them, and as a sign of this, the royal doors are open during incense. After the Fall, people lost their pristine righteousness, distorted their nature and closed the doors of heaven to themselves. They were expelled from paradise and wept bitterly. After censing, the royal gates are closed, the deacon goes out to the pulpit and stands in front of the closed gates, just as Adam stood in front of the gates of heaven after his expulsion. When a person lived in paradise, he did not need anything; With the loss of heavenly bliss, people began to have needs and sorrows, for which we pray to God. The main thing we ask God for is forgiveness of sins. On behalf of all those praying, the deacon says peace or great litany.
After the peaceful litany there follows the singing and reading of the first kathisma: Blessed is the man like him(which) do not go to the counsel of the wicked. The path of returning to paradise is the path of striving for God and evading evil, wickedness and sins. The Old Testament righteous, who waited with faith for the Savior, maintained the true faith and avoided communicating with godless and wicked people. Even after the Fall, Adam and Eve were given the promise of the Coming Messiah, that the seed of the woman will erase the head of the serpent. And a psalm Blessed is the husband also figuratively tells about the Son of God, the Blessed Man, who committed no sin.
Next they sing stichera on “Lord, I have cried”. They alternate with verses from the Psalter. These verses also have a penitential, prayerful character. During the reading of the stichera, incense is performed throughout the temple. “May my prayer be corrected, like incense before You,” the choir sings, and we, listening to this chant, like our sinners, repent of our sins.
The last stichera is called the Theotokos or dogmatist, it is dedicated to the Mother of God. It reveals the church teaching about the incarnation of the Savior from the Virgin Mary.
Although people sinned and fell away from God, the Lord did not leave them without His help and protection throughout Old Testament history. The first people repented, which means the first hope for salvation appeared. This hope is symbolized opening of the royal gates And entrance at vespers. The priest and deacon with the censer leave the northern side doors and, accompanied by the priests, go to the royal doors. The priest blesses the entrance, and the deacon, drawing a cross with a censer, says: “Wisdom, forgive me!”- this means “stand up straight” and contains a call for attention. The choir sings a chant "Quiet Light", saying that the Lord Jesus Christ descended to earth not in greatness and glory, but in a quiet, Divine light. This chant also suggests that the time of the Savior’s birth is near.
After the deacon proclaimed verses from the psalms called prokinny, two litanies are pronounced: strictly And pleading.
If the all-night vigil is celebrated on the occasion of a major holiday, after these litanies the lithium- a sequence containing special prayer requests, at which the blessing of five wheat loaves, wine and oil (oil) takes place in memory of Christ’s miraculous feeding of five thousand people with five loaves. In ancient times, when the All-Night Vigil was served all night, the brethren needed to refresh themselves with food in order to continue performing Matins.
After the litia they sing "stichera on verse", that is, stichera with special verses. After them the choir sings a prayer “Now you let go”. These were the words spoken by the righteous saint Simeon, who waited for the Savior with faith and hope for many years and was honored to take the Infant Christ into his arms. This prayer is pronounced as if on behalf of all the Old Testament people who with faith awaited the coming of Christ the Savior.
Vespers ends with a hymn dedicated to the Virgin Mary: "Virgin Mother of God, rejoice". She was the Fruit that Old Testament humanity had been growing in its depths for thousands of years. This most humble, most righteous and most pure Young Lady is the only one of all the wives who was honored to become the Mother of God. The priest ends Vespers with the exclamation: "The blessing of the Lord is upon you"- and blesses those praying.
The second part of the vigil is called Matins. It is dedicated to the recollection of New Testament events
At the beginning of Matins, six special psalms are read, which are called six psalms. It begins with the words: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” - this is the chant sung by the Angels at the birth of the Savior. The Six Psalms is dedicated to the anticipation of the coming of Christ into the world. It is an image of the Bethlehem night when Christ came into the world, and an image of the night and darkness in which all humanity was before the coming of the Savior. It is not for nothing that, according to custom, all lamps and candles are extinguished during the reading of the Six Psalms. The priest in the middle of the Six Psalms in front of the closed royal doors reads special morning prayers.
Next, a peaceful litany is performed, and after it the deacon loudly proclaims: “God is the Lord, and appear to us. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.". Which means: “God and the Lord appeared to us,” that is, he came into the world, the Old Testament prophecies about the coming of the Messiah were fulfilled. Reading follows kathisma from the Psalter.
After the reading of the kathisma, the most solemn part of Matins begins - polyeleos. Polyeleos With Greek language translated as mercifully, because during polyeleos verses of praise are sung from Psalms 134 and 135, where the multitude of God’s mercy is sung as a constant refrain: for His mercy endures forever! According to the consonance of words polyeleos sometimes translated as abundance of oil, oil. Oil has always been a symbol of God's mercy. During Great Lent, the 136th psalm (“On the rivers of Babylon”) is added to the polyeleos psalms. During the polyeleos, the royal doors are opened, the lamps in the temple are lit, and the clergy, leaving the altar, perform full incense on the entire temple. During censing, Sunday troparia are sung "Angelic Cathedral", telling about the resurrection of Christ. At all-night vigils before the holidays, instead of Sunday troparions, they sing the glorification of the holiday.
Next they read the Gospel. If they serve the all-night vigil on Sunday, they read one of the eleven Sunday Gospels, dedicated to the resurrection of Christ and His appearance to the disciples. If the service is dedicated not to the resurrection, but to a holiday, the holiday Gospel is read.
After the reading of the Gospel at Sunday all-night vigils, hymns are sung “Having seen the Resurrection of Christ”.
Those praying venerate the Gospel (on the holiday - to the icon), and the priest anoints their forehead with consecrated oil in the shape of a cross.
This is not a Sacrament, but sacred rite Church, serving as a sign of God's mercy to us. Since the most ancient, biblical times, oil has been a symbol of joy and a sign of God’s blessing, and the righteous person on whom the favor of the Lord rests is compared with the olive, from the fruits of which oil was obtained: But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God, and I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.(Ps 51:10). The dove released from the ark by the patriarch Noah returned in the evening and brought a fresh olive leaf in its mouth, and Noah learned that the water had gone down from the earth (see: Gen. 8:11). This was a sign of reconciliation with God.
After the priest’s exclamation: “By mercy, generosity and philanthropy...” - the reading begins canon.
Canon- a prayer work that tells about the life and deeds of the saint and glorifies the celebrated event. The canon consists of nine songs, each beginning Irmosom- a chant sung by a choir.
Before the ninth hymn of the canon, the deacon, having bowed to the altar, exclaims before the image of the Mother of God (to the left of the royal doors): “Let us exalt the Virgin Mary and Mother of Light in song”. The choir begins to sing a chant “My soul magnifies the Lord...”. This is a touching prayer-song composed by the Holy Virgin Mary (see: Lk 1, 46-55). A chorus is added to each verse: “The most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, who without corruption gave birth to God the Word, we magnify Thee as the real Mother of God.”
After the canon, the choir sings psalms "Praise the Lord from heaven", “Sing a new song to the Lord”(Ps 149) and "Praise God among His saints"(Ps. 150) along with “praise stichera.” At the Sunday all-night vigil, these stichera end with a hymn dedicated to the Mother of God: “Most blessed art thou, O Virgin Mary...” After this, the priest proclaims: “Glory to You, who showed us the Light,” and begins great doxology. The All-Night Vigil in ancient times, lasting all night, covered the early morning, and during Matins the first morning rays of the sun actually appeared, reminding us of the Sun of Truth - Christ the Savior. The doxology begins with the words: "Gloria..." Matins began with these words and ends with these same words. At the end, the entire Holy Trinity is glorified: “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.”
Matins ends purely And petitionary litanies, after which the priest pronounces the final vacation.
After the all-night vigil, a short service is served, which is called the first hour.
Watch- this is a service that sanctifies a certain time of the day, but according to established tradition they are usually attached to long services - matins and liturgy. The first hour corresponds to our seven o'clock in the morning. This service sanctifies the coming day with prayer.
All-night vigil. Great Vespers
Arriving at the temple and putting on the epitrachelion, the priest, standing in front of the Royal Doors, proclaims:
Blessed be our God always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.
Reader: Amen. Glory to You, our God, glory to You.
King of Heaven: Trisagion. Glory, and now: Most Holy Trinity: Lord, have mercy. (3) Glory, and now: Our Father:
The priest proclaims:
Reader: Amen. Lord have mercy. (12) Glory, and now: Come, let us worship: (3), and the 9th hour is read.
After it there is no dismissal, but the initial exclamation of Vespers is immediately pronounced:
Blessed be our God always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.
Reader: Amen. Come, let's worship: (3) and Psalm 103.
If Vespers begins the all-night vigil, then the altar is censed with the Royal Doors open.
Then the deacon exclaims: Rise up!
Chorus: Bless.
Priest (depicting the sign of the cross with a censer): Glory to the holy, consubstantial, life-giving, and indivisible Trinity always: now and ever, and unto ages of ages.
Chorus: Amen.
The priest and those in the altar sing: Come, let us worship our King, God. Come, let us worship and fall before Christ, the King, our God. Come, let us bow and fall before Christ Himself, our King and God. Come, let us worship and fall before Him!
Then the full incense of the temple is performed while singing Psalm 103 (or selected verses from it).
[Chorus: Bless the Lord, my soul! / Blessed are You, O Lord. / Lord my God, You are greatly exalted. / Blessed are You, O Lord. / You are clothed with praise and splendor. Blessed are You, Lord. / The waters will rise on the mountains. / Wonderful are Your works, O Lord! / Waters will pass through the midst of the mountains, / Wonderful are Your works, O Lord! / You created everything by wisdom. / Glory to Thee, Lord, Who created everything! ]
Psalm 103
Bless the Lord, my soul! O Lord, my God, You are greatly exalted, You are clothed with praise and splendor, clothed with light as with a garment, stretching out the sky like a covering of skin. You You hide Your heavenly palaces in the waters, You appoint clouds for Your ascent, You walk on the wings of the winds, You create Your angels as spirits, and Your servants as flames of fire, You He established the earth on its foundation; it will not bend forever. The abyss is like a garment covering it, the waters will rise on the mountains; They will flee from Your threat; they will be afraid from the sound of Your thunder. Rising on mountains and come down on plains, to the place which You have appointed for them, You have set a limit that they shall not pass over, nor turn back upon, to cover the earth. You you send springs into the gorges, waters will flow through the mountains, they will give water to all the beasts of the field, the wild donkeys will quench their thirst, the birds of the air will dwell with them, and their voices will come out from among the rocks. You You water the mountains from Your heights, the earth will be satisfied with the fruit of Your works, You bring forth grass for livestock and herbs for the service of people, to bring bread out of the ground, and wine to gladden the heart of man, so that his the oil shone, and bread will strengthen a man’s heart. The trees of the plain will be satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon, which You planted, the birds will build their nests there, the stork’s dwelling will rise above them. High mountains are for deer, rocks are a refuge for hares. He created the moon for instructions times, the sun has seen its sunset. You spread darkness and night came; all the forest animals, young lions, will roam in it, roaring in the hope of getting and finding food for themselves from God. The sun has risen, and they have gathered, and will lie down in their lairs; a man will go out to his work and to his work until evening. How majestic are Your works, O Lord, You created all things by wisdom; the land of Your creations is filled. This sea is great and vast, there are reptiles there, of which there is no number, animals small and large. There are ships sailing there there this dragon which You created to mock him. Everyone expects from you what you You will give them food in due time. When You give them, they her They will gather, you will open Your hand, and everything will be filled with good. But if you turn away your face, they will be confused, you will take away their breath, and they will disappear and return to their dust. You will send Your Spirit, and they will be created, and You will renew the face of the earth. May the Lord be the glory forever; the Lord rejoice in His works. He looks at the earth and makes it tremble, touches the mountains - and they smoke. I will sing to the Lord all my life, to sing praises to my God while I exist. May my conversation be sweet to Him, and may I rejoice in the Lord. Let sinners and lawless people disappear from the earth - so that they will not exist. Bless the Lord, my soul! The sun has seen its sunset. You spread the darkness and the night came. How majestic are Your works, O Lord, You have created everything with wisdom.

First antiphon of 1st kathisma.
Psalm 1
Blessed is the man who did not follow the counsel of the wicked, and he did not take the path of sinners, and did not sit on the seat of the destroyers, but his will was in the law of the Lord, and he would delve into His law day and night. And he will be like a tree planted by springs of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not fall, and it will prosper in everything that it does. Not so wicked, not so, but like dust that the wind sweeps from the face of the earth. Therefore the wicked will not rise in judgment, just as sinners will not rise in the council of the righteous, For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Psalm 2
Why did the pagans become enraged and the nations conceive vain plans? The kings of the earth appeared and the princes gathered together against the Lord and against His Anointed: “Let us break their bonds and throw off their yoke!” He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will disgrace them. Then He will turn to them in His anger and in His wrath will confuse them. But I have been appointed by Him king over Zion, His holy mountain; I declare the commandment of the Lord: the Lord said to Me: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You will rule them with a rod of iron, just as you will crush them with a potter’s vessels.” And now, kings, understand, learn, all judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice before Him with trembling. Accept the instruction, lest the Lord be angry and you perish, lost from the path of the righteous, when His wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all who trust in Him!
Psalm 3
Lord, why have those who oppressed me multiplied? Many rise up against me, many say to my soul: there is no salvation for him in his God. But You, Lord, are my intercessor, my glory, and You lift up my head. With my voice I cried out to the Lord, and He heard me from His holy mountain. I fell asleep and slept; woke up, for the Lord will protect me. I will not be afraid of the multitude of people attacking me all around. Arise, Lord, save me, my God, for Thou hast slain all those who are hostile against me in vain, Thou hast broken the teeth of sinners. Salvation comes from the Lord and your blessing comes to your people.
Glory, and now: Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to You, O God. (3)

Then we'll eat“Lord, I cried:” (Psalms 140, 141, 129, 116) on the voice of the stichera and the stichera themselves; at this time the deacon performs the full censing of the temple.
“Lord, I cried:”
(Psalms 140, 141, 129, 116)
Lord, I called to You, hear me. / Hear me, Lord.
Lord, I have called to You, hear me, / listen to the voice of my prayer, / when I cry to You. / Hear me, Lord.
Let my prayer be directed / like incense before Your face, / the lifting up of my hands / like the evening sacrifice. / Hear me, Lord.
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth, and a guard against my lips. Do not turn my heart to wicked words, to invent excuses for sins with people who practice lawlessness; and I will not join their chosen ones. The righteous will mercifully instruct me and reprove me, but let not the oil of a sinner anoint my head, and also my prayer is for their desires. At the rock their judges were swallowed up; They will hear my words, for they have become sweet. As if would the thickness of the earth opened up on the earth, their bones scattered in hell. For my eyes are in You, Lord, Lord, in You I have trusted, do not take away my soul. Save me from the snare that they set for me, and from the temptations of those who practice iniquity. Sinners will fall into their snare; I'm lonely for now her I won't cross over.
With my voice I cried out to the Lord, with my voice I prayed to the Lord. I will pour out my prayer before Him, I will declare my sorrow before Him. When my spirit fainted within me, and Then You knew my paths; on this path that I walked, they hid the net for me. I looked to the right and looked, and no one recognized me; It became impossible for me to escape, and there was no one to stand up for my soul. I cried out to You, Lord, and said: “You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.” Heed my prayer, for I am greatly humbled; deliver me from those who persecute me, for they are stronger than I.
on 10: Bring my soul out of prison, so that to me glorify Your name.
The righteous will wait for me until You reward me.
at 8: From the depths I cried to You, Lord, Lord, hear my voice.
at 6: If You notice iniquity, Lord, Lord, who can stand? For with You is propitiation.
For the sake of Your name, I have waited for You, O Lord, my soul has trusted in Your word, my soul has trusted in the Lord.
on 4: From the morning watch until the night, from the morning watch let Israel trust in the Lord.
For with the Lord is mercy, and great is his deliverance, and he will deliver Israel from all their iniquities.
on 2: Praise the Lord, all nations, praise Him, all nations.
For His mercy is established upon us, and the truth of the Lord endures forever.

Lithium follow-up
On the days when the all-night vigil is celebrated, we go out into the vestibule of the church with the singing of the lithium stichera of the church (on Sunday) or the holiday to perform the litia. The priest and deacon with a censer, preceded by two priests, leave the altar through the northern gate and stand in the vestibule. The deacon censes the holy icons in the narthex, the rector, the singers and the people. At the end of the singing of the stichera, the deacon (and if he is not there, the priest) pronounces the following prayer requests:
Save, O God, Thy people and bless Thy inheritance, visit the world with Thy mercy and bounty, lift up the horn of Orthodox Christians and send down upon us Thy rich mercies: through the intercessions of our all-pure Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, by the power of the sacred and life-giving Cross; the intercession of the holy heavenly ethereal Powers, [the prayers of] the holy glorious prophet the Forerunner and Baptist John, the holy glorious and all-praised Apostles; our holy fathers, [great] hierarchs and ecumenical teachers Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom; our holy father Nicholas, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia, wonderworker; Saints Equal-to-the-Apostles Methodius and Cyril, Slavic teachers, Saints Equal-to-the-Apostles Grand Duke Vladimir and Grand Duchess Olga; our holy fathers and all-Russian wonderworkers Peter, Alexy, Jonah, Philip and Hermogenes; holy glorious and victorious martyrs, our venerable and God-bearing fathers, holy and righteous godfathers Joachim and Anna, (holy temple and saints of the day) and all Your saints: we beg You, most merciful Lord, hear us sinners praying to You, and have mercy on us.

I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise will always be on my lips. Let my soul glory in the Lord, that the meek may hear and be glad. Magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my sorrows. Come to Him and be enlightened, and your faces will not be ashamed. This beggar cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him from all his sorrows. The Angel of the Lord will encamp around those who fear Him and deliver them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him. Fear the Lord, all you His saints, for there is no shortage of those who fear Him. The rich became poor and began to starve, but those who seek the Lord will not tolerate the need for any good.

Theotokos, Virgin, rejoice, blessed Mary, the Lord is with you; Blessed are You among women and blessed is the Fruit of Your womb, for You have given birth to the Savior of our souls (three times).
Blessing of the Loaves
Let's pray to the Lord.
Lord have mercy.
Priest:
Lord Jesus Christ our God, who blessed the five loaves and fed the five thousand, bless yourself these loaves, the wheat, the wine and the oil: and multiply them in this city (or in this village, or in this holy monastery) and throughout your whole world: and sanctify the faithful who eat of them. For You are the One who blesses and sanctifies all things, O Christ our God, and to You we send up glory, with Your Originless Father, and Your All-Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
Blessed be the name of the Lord from now to eternity (three times).
I will bless the Lord at all times; I will make His praise in my mouth. My soul will glory in the Lord: let the meek hear and rejoice. Magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. Seek the Lord, and hear me, and deliver me from all my sorrows. Come to Him and be enlightened, and your faces will not be ashamed. This beggar cried out, and the Lord heard, and saved Him from all his sorrows. The Angel of the Lord will encamp around those who fear Him and deliver them. Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who trusts in Nan. Fear the Lord, all your saints, for there is no hardship for those who fear Him. With riches you become poor and hungry: but those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good.
Priest:
The blessing of the Lord is upon you, through His grace and love for mankind, always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.
Six Psalms
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men (thrice).
God! You will open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise (twice).
Psalm 3
Lord, why have you multiplied the cold! many people rise up against me; Many say to my soul: there is no salvation for him in his God. But you. Lord, you are my intercessor, my glory and lift up my head. With my voice I cried to the Lord, and He heard me from His holy mountain. I fell asleep and fell asleep, and arose, as if the Lord would intercede for me. I will not be afraid of the people around me who attack me. Arise, Lord, save me, my God, for Thou hast struck down all those who are at enmity with me in vain; You crushed the teeth of sinners. Salvation is the Lord's, and Your blessing is upon Your people. I fell asleep and fell asleep, and arose, as if the Lord would intercede for me.
Psalm 37
God! Let not Thy wrath reprove me, nor punish me with Thy wrath: for Thy arrows struck me, and Thou didst strengthen Thy hand upon me. There is no healing in my flesh from the face of Your wrath, there is no peace in my bones from the face of my sin: for my iniquities have exceeded my head, for a heavy burden has weighed down upon me. My wounds have grown stale and rotten because of my madness. Suffered and sloshed to the end; I walked all day, mourning, because my body was filled with reproaches, and there was no healing in my flesh. I was embittered and humbled to death: I roared with the sighing of my heart. God! All my desire is before You, and my sighing is not hidden from You; my heart is troubled, my strength has left me, and the light of my eyes, and she will not be with me. My friends and my sincere ones approached me directly and stasha; and my neighbor is far away from me, and he who is in need seeks my soul; and he who seeks evil to me is a vain verb, and I will learn from the flatterers all day long. But because I am deaf, I do not hear, and because I am dumb, I do not open my mouth; and as a man he did not hear, nor did he have reproach in his mouth. For in Thee, O Lord, have I trusted; You will hear, O Lord, my God. As if I said: may my enemies never give me joy, and may my feet never move, but your words will never be able to move against me; for I am ready for wounds, and my illness is before me. For I will proclaim my iniquity, and take care of my sin. My enemies live, and have become stronger than me, and have multiplied, hating me without truth. He who repays my evil, rewarding my slander, persecutes the goodness. Do not forsake me, O Lord my God, do not depart from me. Please help me. Lord of my salvation! Do not forsake me, O Lord my God, do not depart from me. Come to my help, O Lord of my salvation!
Psalm 62
God, my God! to You in the morning; My soul thirsted for Thee, since my flesh multiplied for Thee in the empty, impassable, and waterless land, so in the Holy One I appeared to Thee, to see Thy power and Thy glory: for Thy mercy is better than life. With my lips praise Thee; Thus I will bless Thee in my belly, and in Thy name I will lift up my hands. For my soul may be filled with fatness and ointment, and my lips will praise You with joy. If I remember You on my bed, I will learn from You in the morning, as if You were my helper, and in Your shelter I will rejoice. My soul clings to You; Thy right hand is acceptable to me. They, having sought my soul in vain, will enter into the underworld of the earth; they will surrender into the hands of arms, parts of the fox will be. The king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will boast, because the mouth of those who speak unrighteously is stopped. In the morning I learned from You, as You were my helper, and in the shelter of Your wing I will rejoice. My soul clings to You, but Your right hand accepts me!
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to You, God (three times - without bowing).
Psalm 87
Lord, God of my salvation! I cried in the days and in the nights before You. May my prayer come before You, incline Your ear to my prayer: for my soul is filled with evil and my belly is drawing near to hell. He would be used with those descending into the ditch, like a man without help, there would be freedom in the dead; like a plague sleeping in a tomb, you did not remember them, and they were rejected by your hand. Placing me in the pit of hell, in the dark and shadow of death. Thy wrath was established upon me, and all Thy waves were brought upon me. You removed those who knew me from me, making me an abomination to yourself, and you were betrayed and did not depart. My eyes are weary from poverty; I have cried out to You, O Lord, all day long: I have lifted up my hands to You. Eating dead people work wonders? or will the doctors resurrect and confess to You? Who is the story of Thy mercy in the grave, and Thy truth in destruction? Will Thy wonders be known in darkness, and Thy righteousness in forgotten lands? And I cried to You, O Lord, and my morning prayer will precede You. Why, O Lord, dost Thou take away my soul, and turn Thy face away from me? I am poor, and in labor from my youth, I was lifted up, humbled and exhausted. Thy wrath has come upon me, Thy fears have troubled me. You washed me over like water all day long, possessing me all together. You removed from me a friend and a sincere and known one from my passions. Lord, God of my salvation! I cried in the days and in the nights before You. May my prayer come before You, incline Your ear to my prayer!
Psalm 102
Bless the Lord, my soul, and all that is within me, His holy name! Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all His rewards! Who cleanses all your iniquities, who heals all your illnesses; who delivers your belly from corruption; crowning you with mercy and bounty; who fulfills your desires for good; Your youth will be renewed like an eagle. The Lord grant alms and destiny to all those who are offended. Moses told His ways to the sons of Israel His desires. The Lord is generous and merciful, long-suffering and abounding in mercy. He doesn’t become completely angry; he quarrels forever. He did not make us eat because of our iniquities, but repaid us because of our sins; for as the height of heaven from the earth, the Lord established His mercy on those who fear Him. The east is far removed from the west, and our iniquities have been removed from us. As a father gives generously to his sons, the Lord will provide for those who fear Him. As He knew our creation: I will remember, as the dust of Esma. Man is like grass; his days are like grass; Like the color of the village, the tacos will fade. For the spirit has passed through it - and it will not be, and no one will know its place, but the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness is on the sons of sons, who keep His covenant and remember His commandments to do. The Lord has prepared His throne in heaven, and His kingdom possesses all. Bless the Lord, all His angels, mighty in strength, who do His word, to hear the voice of His words! Bless the Lord, all His might, His servants, you who do His will! Bless the Lord, all His works, in every place of His dominion! Bless the Lord, my soul. In every place of His dominion, bless my soul. Gentlemen!
Psalm 142
God! Hear my prayer, inspire my prayer in Thy truth, hear me in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant! For no one living will be justified before You; Because the enemy drove my soul, he humbled my belly to the ground; He made me sit in dark, like dead centuries. And my spirit is depressed within me, my heart is troubled within me. I have remembered the days of old, I have learned in all Your works, I have learned Your hand in all creation. My hand has lifted up to You, my soul, like a waterless land to You. Hear me soon, Lord: my spirit has disappeared; do not turn Your face away from me, and I will become like those who go down into the pit. I hear Thy mercy upon me in the morning, for I trust in Thee. Tell me, Lord, the way, I will go, as if I have taken my soul to You. Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord; I have come running to You, teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Your good Spirit will guide me to the right land! For Thy name's sake, Lord, live for me; By Thy righteousness Thou hast delivered my soul from sorrow; and consume Your mercy by my enemies, and destroy all my cold souls, for I am Your servant. Hear me, O Lord, in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant (twice). Your good Spirit will guide me to the right land!
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages; Amen. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to Thee, O God (three times).

Verse of the Psalms - Kathismas
Lord, have mercy (three times). Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 10:
I trust in the Lord, as you say to my soul: soar through the mountains like a bird, for behold, these sinners have muddled their bows, ready to shoot arrows in the flesh in the darkness of the right in heart: What you have done, they have destroyed: what has the righteous done? - The Lord is in His holy temple; The Lord is His throne in heaven; His eyes look upon the poor; The sons of men will test His trust. The Lord will test the righteous and the wicked; he who loves untruth hates his own soul. He will rain on sinners; fire and bogey and stormy spirit are part of their cup; For the Lord is righteous and love righteousness, seeing His face righteous. Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to you, O God (three times). Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
Psalm 13:
The speech is mad in his heart: there is no God! Having become corrupted and disgusted in your undertakings, do no good. The Lord spoke from heaven to the sons of men, see, if you understand, or seek God. All of them evaded, and together they were not the keys; Do not do goodness, do not do it to one. Will not everyone understand that he who works iniquity, who devours my people for food? I didn’t call on the Lord. There, fearing fear, where there was no fear, for the Lord is in the generation of the righteous, the advice of the poor is put to shame: the Lord is his hope. Who will give salvation to Israel from Zion? Whenever the Lord will return the captivity of His people, Jacob will rejoice, and Israel will rejoice. Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to Thee, O God (three times). Lord, have mercy (three times). Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
Psalm 16:
Hear, O Lord, my truth, attend to my prayer, inspire my prayer not in flattering lips. From Your presence my destiny will come; My eyes may see what is right. You have tempted my heart, you have visited me at night, you have tempted me, and iniquity is not found in me. For let not my mouth speak of the deeds of men, for the words of Thy lips, for I have preserved the cruel ways. Make my steps in Your paths, so that my steps may not move. I cried out, because you heard me, O God. Incline Your ear to me, and hear my words. Surprise Your mercy, save those who trust in You from those who resist Your right hand! Save me, Lord, like the apple of your eye; in the shelter of Thy wing thou hast covered me from the face of the wicked, who have made me bitter; conquer my soul, shut up your fat, and speak pride from their lips. Those who cast me out have now passed me by, casting their eyes upon the earth. Having embraced me, like a lion ready to catch, and like a skiman who dwells in the secret. Arise, O Lord, before me, and stifle them, deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy weapon from the enemy of Thy hand. Lord, from the little ones from the earth, I have divided them in their bellies, and their belly is filled with Your hidden ones; having had enough of her sons, she left the remains of her child. But I will appear before Your face in righteousness, I will be satisfied, and will always appear before Your glory. Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to Thee, O God (three times).

Psalm 17:
I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my strength, and my refuge, and my Deliverer; My God is my helper and I trust in Him: my protector and the horn of my salvation and my intercessor! With praise I will call on the Lord and I will be saved from my enemies. Mortal diseases and the sweat of iniquity have overcome me, crushing me; The diseases of hell have overcome me; they have preceded me to the snares of death. And when I was in sorrow, I called on the Lord and cried out to my God. I have heard my voice from His holy temple, and my cry before Him will enter His ears. And get moving. and the earth trembled, and the foundations of the mountains shook and moved, as if God was angry with her. The smoke of His wrath arose, and the fire was kindled from His presence, and coals were kindled from Him. And bow down the heavens, and below, and darkness under His feet; and mount the Cherubim and fly, fly on the winged wind. And put darkness for your shelter, around His village His village is dark water in the clouds of air. From the shedding before Him came clouds, hail and coals of fire. And the Lord and the Most High thundered from heaven and gave His voice. I sent down arrows and scattered me, and multiplied lightning and I was crushed. And the springs of water appeared, and the foundations of the world were revealed, from Thy prohibition, O Lord, from the inspiration of the spirit of Thy wrath. He sent down from on high and received me; they took me from many waters. He will deliver me from my powerful enemies and from those who hate me, for he has become stronger than me. Foretold me in the day of my bitterness: and the Lord was my confirmation; and he will bring me out into the wideness: he will deliver me, as he willed me. And the Lord will reward me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hand he will reward me: because I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not acted wickedly from my God. For His whole destiny is before me, and His justification does not depart from me. And I will be blameless with Him and will be kept from my iniquity. And the Lord will reward me according to my righteousness and according to the purity of my hand before His eyes. With a venerable man you will be reverent, and with an innocent man you will be innocent, and with a chosen one you will be chosen, and with an obstinate man you will be corrupt. For You have saved the humble people and humbled the eyes of the proud. For You have enlightened my lamp; Lord, my God, enlighten my darkness. For through You I will get rid of temptation, and through my God I will cross the wall. My God! His way is blameless, the words of the Lord are kindled: the protector of all those who trust in Him. For who is God but the Lord? or: who is God, except our God? God, gird me with strength and make my way blameless; make my noses like trees and set me on high; train my hands to fight, and thou hast laid the bow of the coppers as my arm. And You have given me the protection of salvation, and Your right hand will receive me, and Your punishment will correct me in the end, and Your punishment will teach me. Thou hast enlarged my feet under me, and thou hast not fainted from my steps. My enemies will marry and I will suffer, and I will not return until they die. I will insult them and they will not be able to stand up: they will fall under my feet. And you have girded me with strength for battle, you have suppressed all those who rise up against me under me. And you gave me a backbone to my enemies, and you consumed those who hated me. You cried - and do not save; to the Lord - and did not hear them. And I will crumble like dust before the wind, like the clay of the paths I will stroke. Deliver me from the bickering of people, put me at the head of languages. People, we don’t know them, we worked. In the ear of the ear you listened to me: the strangers lied to me, the strangers swore and were lame from their paths. As the Lord liveth and blessed be God, may the God of my salvation be exalted; God grant me vengeance and subjugate people under me, my deliverer from my wrathful enemies, lift me up from those who rebel against me, and deliver me from the unrighteous man. For this reason, let us confess to You among the nations, O Lord, and sing to Your name: magnify the salvation of the king and show mercy to Your Christ David and his seed forever. Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
Psalm 20:
God! In Your power the king will rejoice and will rejoice greatly in Your salvation. He gave him the desire of his heart and took away the desire of his mouth. As if you had preceded him with a blessed blessing, you placed on his head a crown from an honorable stone. He asked You for food, and You gave him the length of days forever and ever. Great is his glory through Thy salvation: place glory and splendor upon him. For give him a blessing forever and ever, make him glad with Your face. For the king trusts in the Lord, and is not moved by the mercy of the Most High. May Thy hand be found against all Thy enemies, may Thy right hand be found against all who hate You. Lay them like a furnace of fire at the time of Your presence: the Lord will crush me with His wrath, and the fire will destroy them. Destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from the sons of men, as if they have turned evil against You; having thought about advice, they will not be able to compose them, for if I laid a backbone, I prepared for their face in Your abundance. Be exalted, O Lord, in Thy strength: let us sing and sing of Thy strength. Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to you, O God (three times). Lord, have mercy (three times). Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
Psalm 23:
The earth is the Lord's and its fulfillment, the universe and all who live on it. He founded food on the seas and prepared food on the rivers. Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord or who will stand in His holy place? He is innocent in his hands and pure in heart, who does not take his soul in vain and does not swear by his sincere flattery. This one will receive a blessing from the Lord and alms from God his Savior. This is the generation of those who seek the Lord, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Lift up your gates, O princes, and lift up the everlasting gates: and the King of Glory will come in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord is strong and mighty in battle. Lift up your gates, O princes, and lift up the everlasting gates: and the King of Glory will come in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of hosts is the King of Glory. Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages, Amen. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to Thee, O God (three times).

Sunday troparia of St. John of Damascus:
Blessed art thou, O Lord, teach me by thy justification.
The angelic council was surprised, in vain it was imputed to You as the dead, but the mortal, Savior, destroyed the fortress, and raised Adam with Himself, and was completely freed from hell.
Why do you dissolve the world with merciful tears, O disciples? The angel shining in the tomb spoke to the myrrh-bearing women: you see the tomb and understand: the Savior is risen from the tomb.
Very early the myrrh-bearing women went to Thy tomb, weeping, but an Angel appeared to them and said: weeping is the time of the end, do not weep, but cry out the resurrection of the apostle.
The myrrh-bearing women from the world came to Your tomb, O Savior, weeping, and the Angel spoke to them, saying: Why do you think of the living with the dead? For God has risen from the grave.

By your free and life-giving death, Christ, having crushed the gates of hell, as God, you opened for us the ancient paradise, and rose from the dead, and delivered our belly from corruption!
I lift my eyes to heaven, to You, the Word: gracious to me, that I may live to You! Have mercy on us, the humble, by arranging useful vessels for Your Word!
Glory, and now:
To the Holy Spirit, every all-saving wine, if this one breathes according to its inheritance, will soon be taken from the earthly, uplifted, increased, arranging grief.
Antiphon 2:
If the Lord were not in us, no one against us would be able to overcome the enemy's battle: the victorious one is exalted from here. Let their teeth not eat my soul like a chick, the Word: woe is me, how the imam is cut off from the enemy, this sin-loving one!
Glory: By the Holy Spirit, deification of all, good will, reason, peace and blessing: for it is equal to the Father and the Word.
And now: the same.
Antiphon 3rd:
Those who trust in the Lord are afraid of the enemy, and marvel at everyone, for they see grief. Having Your helper, the Savior, does not stretch out His righteous lot into the iniquity of His hands.
Glory: The Holy Spirit is the power of all: He who is on high the hosts worship with every breath in their hearts.
And now, the same.
I don't think it's worth explaining.
In the link to the diagram it is explained in detail how the opening psalm should be performed, it is said that it is taken from Irmology. In our case, it is not in Irmology (apparently there is an error in the diagram, or I don’t know Irmology that well), but it is in the Book of Hours on page 147.
I repeat, the Scheme describes the statutory procedure for performing the psalm, but in the parish tradition we limit ourselves to those verses of the psalm that are given in the music collections from which we sing.
Everything is clear here. We open the notes and sing for each petition: "Lord have mercy" , - listening carefully so as not to miss the request "Most Holy, Most Pure...", - to which we must answer: "To you, Lord" Well, let’s not forget about the priest’s exclamation at the end of the litany, to which we respond: "Amen"
4. Now it’s time to look into "Divine servicesinstructions"(hereinafter referred to as BU).
- and the Apostle, tone 1 - 6 (each stichera - twice). This means that you need to read stichera dedicated to the saint, whose celebration takes place on the date of the month. Texts of services tied to specific dates of a particular month are given in Menaiah. We need a day of remembrance of St. ap. and ev. John the Theologian. We look at the date according to the old style. September 26. We need Minea September. We open it on page 731, we see: “On Small Vespers,” we remember that the All-Night Vigil begins with Great Vespers, which means we turn the page to 732. And below we find what we need: 3 stichera, which we insert (twice) after the verses , starting from “to 6”. We see how it turned out in the finished sequence (the link is above).
- “Glory” - the apostle, voice 2: “Son of Thunder...”. It's clear here. The stichera (usually called the “Slavnik”) is taken from the Menaion and performed after the singing (reading) of “Glory:” (Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.)
- “And now” - dogmatist, tone 8: “King of Heaven...” Dogmatist is a Sunday hymn glorifying the Mother of God. Always performed on the voice of the week. The dogmatists are written in the Octoechos at the end of the corpus of stichera “in the Lord, I cried”
Yes, it must also be said that in common parish practice, after the two initial chants (Lord, I cried... and May He be corrected...) they immediately proceed to the singing (reading) of the verse, from which the performance of the stichera begins.
In detail: the continuation of the all-night vigil and liturgy text - from all open sources and different parts of the world on the site for our dear readers.

Bless the Lord, my soul./ Blessed art thou, O Lord. / Bless the Lord, my soul, / and all that is within me, His holy Name.
Bless the Lord, my soul, / and do not forget all His rewards. He who cleanses all your iniquities, / who heals all your ailments, / who delivers your belly from corruption, / who crowns you with mercy and bounties. Who fulfills your desires for good: / your youth will be renewed like an eagle... The Lord create alms, / and the fate of all those who are offended. Moses told His ways, / His desires to the sons of Israel. The Lord is generous and merciful, / long-suffering and abounding in mercy. He is not completely angry, / he is at enmity for centuries. It was not because of our iniquities that he made us eat, / but because of our sins he repaid us to eat. As the height of heaven from the earth, / the Lord established His mercy on those who fear Him. The east is far removed from the west, / our iniquities have been removed from us. As a father gives generously to his sons, / the Lord rewards those who fear Him. For He is known by our creation, / I will remember him as the dust of Him. A man, like the grass of his days, / like the flower of the countryside, will bloom. For the spirit has passed through him, / and will not be, / and will not know his place.
But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting / on those who fear Him. And His righteousness is upon the sons of sons, / who keep His covenant, / and remember His commandments / to do. The Lord has prepared His Throne in heaven, / and His Kingdom possesses all. Bless the Lord, O His angels, / who are mighty in strength, who do His word, / to hear the voice of His words. Bless the Lord, all His might, / His servants who do His will. Bless the Lord, all His works, / in every place of His dominion. Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

With riches you become poor and hungry: but those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good. Come, children, listen to me, / I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is a man, even if he loves his life, / loves the days and sees good things? Keep your tongue from evil, / and keep your lips from speaking flattery. Turn away from evil, and do good, / seek peace, and marry, and. The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous/ and His ears are upon their prayer. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, / to consume their memory from the earth. The righteous cried out, and the Lord heard them, and delivered them from all their sorrows. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and will save the humble in spirit. Many are the sorrows of the righteous, and the Lord will deliver me from all of them.

G Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. (2 times).
Psalm 3
Lord, why have you multiplied the cold? Many people rise up against me, many people say to my soul: there is no salvation for him in his God. But You, Lord, are my Protector, my glory, and lift up my head. With my voice I cried to the Lord, and He heard me from His holy mountain. I fell asleep and fell asleep, and arose, as if the Lord would intercede for me. I will not be afraid of the people around me who attack me. Arise, Lord, save me, my God, for you have struck down all those who are at enmity with me in vain: you have crushed the teeth of sinners. Salvation is the Lord's, and Your blessing is upon Your people.
I fell asleep and fell asleep, and arose, as if the Lord would intercede for me.
Psalm 37
Lord, do not reprove me with Your wrath; do not punish me with Your wrath. As Thy arrows have struck me, and Thou hast strengthened Thy hand upon me. There is no healing in my flesh from the face of Your wrath, there is no peace in my bones from the face of my sin. For my iniquities have exceeded my head, for a heavy burden is heavy upon me. My wounds have grown stale and rotten because of my madness. I suffered and sloshed to the end, walking around complaining all day. For my body is filled with reproach, and there is no healing in my flesh. I would become embittered and humbled to death, roaring from the sighing of my heart. Lord, before You all my desire and my sighing are not hidden from You. My heart is confused, my strength has left me, and the light of my eyes has left me, and that one is not with me. My friends and my sincere ones have come close to me and stasha, and my neighbors are far away from me, stasha and needy, seeking my soul, and seeking evil to me, vain words and flattering ones all day long. As if I were deaf and did not hear, and because I was dumb and did not open my mouth. And as a man he would not hear, nor would he have reproach in his mouth. For in You, O Lord, I have trusted; You will hear, O Lord my God. As if he said: “Let my enemies never make me happy; and never can my feet move, but you speak against me.” As if I am ready for wounds, and my illness is before me. For I will proclaim my iniquity and take care of my sin. My enemies live and have become stronger than me, and those who hate me without truth have multiplied. Those who reward me with evil, repaying the slander of me, persecute the goodness. Do not forsake me, O Lord my God, do not depart from me. Come to my help, O Lord of my salvation.
Do not forsake me, O Lord my God, do not depart from me. Come to my help, O Lord of my salvation.
Psalm 62
God, my God, I have come to You in the morning; my soul has thirsted for You, since my flesh is a multitude of You, in a land that is empty and impenetrable and without water. Thus I appeared to You in the Holy One, to see Your power and Your glory. For Thy mercy is better than belly, praise Thee with my lips. Thus I will bless You in my belly, I will lift up my hands in Your name. For my soul may be filled with fatness and ointment, and my lips will praise You with joy. When I remembered Ty on my bed, I learned from Ty in the morning. For Thou art my Helper, and in the shelter of Thy wing I will rejoice. My soul clings to You, but I am accepted by Your right hand. Having sought my soul in vain, they will enter the underworld, surrender into the hands of weapons, and become part of the fox. The king will rejoice in God, everyone who swears by Him will boast, for the mouths of those who speak unrighteously have been stopped.
We studied in the morning in Tya. For Thou art my Helper, and in the shelter of Thy wing I will rejoice. My soul clings to You, but I am accepted by Your right hand.

Psalm 87
O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried in the days and in the nights before You. Let my prayer come before You: incline Your ear to my prayer, for my soul is filled with evil, and my belly is drawing near to hell. He was used with those descending into the pit, like a man without help, in the dead there was freedom, like ulcers sleeping in the tomb, whom You did not remember, and they were rejected from Your hand. Placing me in the pit of hell, in the dark and shadow of death. Thy wrath was established upon me, and all Thy waves were brought upon me. You removed those who knew me from me, making me an abomination to yourself: I was betrayed and never left. My eyes are exhausted from poverty, I have cried out to You, O Lord, all day long, I have lifted up my hands to You. Eating dead people work wonders? Or will the doctors resurrect and confess to You? Who is the story of Thy mercy in the grave, and Thy truth in destruction? Will Thy wonders be known in darkness, and Thy righteousness in forgotten lands? And I cried to You, Lord, and my morning prayer will precede You. Why, O Lord, dost Thou take away my soul, and turn Thy face away from me? I am poor and in labor from my youth; He was lifted up, humbled, and faint. Thy wrath came upon me, Thy fears disturbed me, washed over me like water, and overpowered me all day long. You removed from me a friend and a sincere one, and those who knew me from passions.
O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried in the days and in the nights before You. Let my prayer come before You: incline Your ear to my prayer.
Psalm 102
Bless, my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, His holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all His rewards, who cleanses all your iniquities, heals all your ailments, delivers your belly from corruption, crowns you with mercy and bounty, fulfills your desire for good: your youth will be renewed like an eagle. The Lord grant alms and destiny to all those who are offended. Moses told His way to the sons of Israel His desires: The Lord is generous and merciful, long-suffering and abundantly merciful. He is not completely angry, he is at enmity forever, he did not create food for us because of our iniquity, but he repaid us with food because of our sin. As the height of heaven from the earth, the Lord established His mercy on those who fear Him. The east is far removed from the west, and our iniquities have been removed from us. As a father gives generously to his sons, the Lord will provide for those who fear Him. As He knew our creation, I will remember, as the dust of Esma. Man, like the grass of his days, like the flower of the field, will bloom like the spirit that has passed through him, and he will not be, and no one will know his place. The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness is on the sons of sons, who keep His covenant and remember His commandments to do. The Lord has prepared His Throne in Heaven, and His Kingdom possesses everyone. Bless the Lord, all His angels, mighty in strength, who do His word, to hear the voice of His words. Bless the Lord, all His Powers, His servants who do His will. Bless the Lord, all His works, in every place of His dominion, bless the Lord, my soul.
In every place of His dominion, bless the Lord, my soul.
Psalm 142
Lord, hear my prayer, inspire my prayer in Thy truth, hear me in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant, for no one living will be justified before You. As if the enemy drove my soul, he humbled my belly to eat, he planted me to eat in dark, like dead centuries. And my spirit is depressed within me, my heart is troubled within me. I have remembered the days of old, I have learned in all Your works, I have learned Your hand in all creation. My hands have lifted up to You, my soul, like a waterless land to You. Hear me soon, Lord, my spirit has disappeared, do not turn Your face away from me, and I will become like those who go down into the pit. I hear Thy mercy upon me in the morning, for I trust in Thee. Tell me, Lord, I will go the other way, because I have taken my soul to You. Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, I have fled to You. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Your Good Spirit will guide me to the right land. For Thy name's sake, O Lord, live me, by Thy righteousness remove my soul from sorrow. And by Thy mercy consume my enemies and destroy all my cold souls, for I am Thy servant.
Hear me, O Lord, in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant. Hear me, O Lord, in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant. Your Good Spirit will guide me to the right land.

Psalm 50 (usually not read in parish churches)
Reader: Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. I have sinned against You alone and have done evil before You, so that You may be justified in Your words and triumph over the judgment of You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

Svetilen (Exapostilary) of the day or holiday.
WITH O disciples, let us ascend to the mountain of Galilee, by the faith of Christ we see the spoken word, the power of receiving the high and the low, let us learn, as he teaches, to baptize, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, all tongues, and abide in the secret places as promised, until the end of the age.
Psalms of Praise (148 – 150)
Chorus: Let every breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from heaven, praise Him in the highest. A song to God is due to you.
X Lay down Him, all His Angels; praise Him, all His Powers. A song to God is due to you.
Reader: Psalm 148: Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all stars and light. Praise Him The heavens of heavens and the waters that are above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord: as He spoke, and was, He commanded, and was created. If I put it in the age and in the age of the century, I lay down the command, and it will not go unnoticed. Praise the Lord from the earth, the serpents and all the deeps: fire, hail, snow, bareness, the stormy spirit that does His word, the mountains and all the hills, the fruitful trees and all the cedars, the beasts and all the cattle, the reptiles and the birds. Let the kings of the earth and all the people, the princes and all the judges of the earth, young men and maidens, elders and young men, praise the name of the Lord, for the name of the One has been exalted, His confession on earth and in heaven. And the horn of His people will exalt a song to all His saints, the sons of Israel, to the people who draw near to Him.
Reader: Psalm 149: Sing a new song to the Lord, His praise in the church of the saints. Let Israel rejoice in Him who made them, and let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King. Let them praise His name in person, in the tympanum and psalms, and sing to Him. For the Lord delights in His people, and will lift up the meek to salvation. The saints will be praised in glory and will rejoice on their beds. The heaps of God are in their throats, and two sharp swords are in their hands: to bring vengeance on the nations, reproof on the people, to bind their kings with shackles, and their glorious hands with iron shackles.
Reader: Create judgment in them is written.
Chorus: This glory will be to all His saints.

Lord, the tomb is sealed from the wicked, you came from the tomb, just as you were born from the Mother of God. I cannot understand how You were incarnated, Thy angels without flesh; You didn’t feel when You rose again, the warriors who guarded You. Both were imprinted on those who experienced them, and miracles appeared to those who worshiped the sacrament with faith, and to those who chanted, grant us joy and great mercy.

Thy Cross, O Lord, is life and resurrection for Thy people, and gives hope. To You, our Risen God, we sing: have mercy on us.

WITH O Father and Spirit of Christ, let us sing of the Risen One from the dead and cry out to Him: You are our life and resurrection: have mercy on us!
Reader: Praise Him with a trumpet voice.
Chorus: Praise Him with strings and organ!
T Thou hast risen from the grave, O Christ, even as it is written, having raised up our forefather. In the same way, the human race glorifies You and glorifies Your resurrection.
X knock Him down in the tympanum and face, praise Him in the strings and organ.
X bring down Him with the cymbals of good will, praise Him with the cymbals of shouting. Let every breath praise the Lord.
